Yahoo got $9,921,887.00 of your stimulus money...
"To design, build and deploy a cost effective data center that meets the needs of Yahoo!, while substantially reducing reliance on electricity, water, chemical usage and sewer discharge."
Speaking of sewer discharge, that's money straight down the pooper.
They claim to have saved or create 25 jobs with that 10 million dollars of your tax money. Lets see..that's only $400,000.00 per temporary job.
Nice going Obama.
No wonder they are in the tank for Barack.
Now they are laying off 700 workers just before the holidays.
Don't worry though. It's from their product division, not anyone in censorship/account deletion.

keyF11.com very good alternative. I recommend this bookmark storage/notepad/browser/password protected storage-hidden panels... Very easy to use and very easy to sharing your favorites or notes - you can say your address to anybody or publish on facebook e.g. keyF11.com/martin (you can choose your name) This online web site/apps is completely free - recommendhttp://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d0b976fccd1d54d56040000racerrickFri, 17 Dec 2010 12:01:34 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d0b976fccd1d54d56040000
Maybe instead of acquiring new companies, Yahoo could attempt to make businesses out of the old acquisitions.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d0b2fa0cadcbb40798d0000Alex MorrisonFri, 17 Dec 2010 04:38:40 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d0b2fa0cadcbb40798d0000
Delicious is one of the great online services. I love it and use it every day. If Yahoo can't make it work then they need to ask themselves why - it's full of commercial opportunities waiting to be exploited.
Hey Yahoo ! Get in touch if you'd like some ideas (or if you'd like to divest it).http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d0af458cadcbba64b2b0000SebastienFri, 17 Dec 2010 00:25:43 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d0af458cadcbba64b2b0000
Favbot, the technology is only one half of the equation.
Delicious' most interesting feature is that it has a ton of curated long-tail content with a large and enthusiastic community behind it, archiving new stuff every day. That's what differentiates it from StumbleUpon, which really only operates in the wide end of the long tail.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d0aebc7cadcbb5c395a0000David StutterThu, 16 Dec 2010 23:49:11 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d0aebc7cadcbb5c395a0000
Goodbye AltaVista. Who knew it was still around? It was Google before Google.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d0ae5d8cadcbb1939320000FavbotThu, 16 Dec 2010 23:23:51 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d0ae5d8cadcbb1939320000
Favbot offers automatic import and free hosting for Delicious bookmarks. Once imported, you can use your bookmarks just like before except for the small change in the url http://www.favbot.com/import-delicious.html
You should check out the other features of Favbot too : http://www.favbot.com/ - it makes manual bookmarking obsolete, actually. The tool automatically bookmarks for you. It even crawls the links you shared on Twitter etc.
I'm curious to know what you think about it.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d0a9883cadcbb0665010000mdennisonThu, 16 Dec 2010 17:53:55 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d0a9883cadcbb0665010000
It's not entirely Carol's fault that Delicious is dead. She just follows Blake's advice. Yahoo missed its window of opportunity to make Delicious shine a couple of years ago and has never bothered to even try to catch up. It's a damn shame.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d0a914d4bd7c8511f0f0000Dave BoudreauThu, 16 Dec 2010 17:23:09 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d0a914d4bd7c8511f0f0000
Delicious is pretty much the only Yahoo application that I still use on a consistent basis. I used to be a huge fan of Flickr but now I pretty much upload all my pictures to share onto Facebook.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d0a856c4bd7c8a611080000Former YThu, 16 Dec 2010 16:32:28 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d0a856c4bd7c8a611080000
Yahoo Picks hasn't had an update since 2008. It was already "sunset"
Shows you how much these big product folks actually know about their products.
And, yes, if they kill of Delicious, they truly are great, big purple fools.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d0a7e5c49e2ae320f440000DoctorThu, 16 Dec 2010 16:02:20 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d0a7e5c49e2ae320f440000
Classic big company thinking.
We didn't do anything with a high-profile acquisition, like Delicious, so rather than sell it and run the risk of having someone else really do a good job, thereby making us look incompetent, we're just going to kill it off. Who cares about the investment or getting maximum value for the asset... it was just the shareholders' money anyway. We'll just let accounting figure it out... that's what they're there for anyway.
And "sunset" is just a nice way of saying kill off.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d0a77e549e2ae8814010000dugThu, 16 Dec 2010 15:34:45 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d0a77e549e2ae8814010000
MyBlogLog is still tracking 14 million according to Quantcast. Delicious is an icon. Tells you Yahoo is losing it if they shut them down. I'll buy them for $1 each.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d0a769eccd1d5072a2b0000SieveThu, 16 Dec 2010 15:29:18 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d0a769eccd1d5072a2b0000
Oh, Carol's head must have exploded when she saw this leak.
The ship's leaking like a sieve.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d0a738149e2ae4309090000HehThu, 16 Dec 2010 15:16:00 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d0a738149e2ae4309090000
Heh. Sideline was a tech demo to show the flexibility of YUI and create a little awareness of YDN, nothing more. It was built by one guy in 4 weeks and open-sourced to github. Merge what...YUI code that they own anyway? Silly.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d0a7096cadcbb5a2c3b0000KareemThu, 16 Dec 2010 15:03:33 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d0a7096cadcbb5a2c3b0000
Can't believe they would kill delicious.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d0a6fa0ccd1d54e29030000Mark WidawerThu, 16 Dec 2010 14:59:28 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d0a6fa0ccd1d54e29030000
One interesting thing about this slide...
Notice all the different logos that are being merged or sunsetted...and all the "Yahoo" logos for "Featured".
Can you say "Not Invented Here Syndrome" ??

God I hope the sunset isn't the end of delicious! It's an invaluable tool.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d0a6d80cadcbb7e2f1d0000Evan CarrollThu, 16 Dec 2010 14:50:24 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d0a6d80cadcbb7e2f1d0000
They'll never kill off del.icio.us! That has to be a tremendous asset in the Yahoo portfolio. I call bullshit. That's the biggest online bookmark-sharing social site.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d0a6d484bd7c80475050000lushfunThu, 16 Dec 2010 14:49:28 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d0a6d484bd7c80475050000
when all you see is a way to cut expenses, the revenue growth evaporates. Not that there was any creative way of going about creating value in the company to begin with. But it seems they are learning an old motif, when all you have is a hammer (really dumb executie in charge) all problems become nails.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d0a6a304bd7c8fb6f090000Five finger discountThu, 16 Dec 2010 14:36:16 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d0a6a304bd7c8fb6f090000
